Deal or no deal? Trump searches for Iran off-ramp to end ‘hurting stalemate’
Donald Trump is seeking a way to end the ongoing conflict with Iran, suggesting that Gulf nations normalize relations with Israel as part of a potential deal. His proposal, made during a call with world leaders, has not gained traction and reflects frustration within the U.S. administration regarding the political outcomes of military actions. Despite military successes, securing a lasting peace agreement remains a significant challenge.
